I guess if you like the John Salon pick from the draft this past year, but just doing things that put them on a on a track to potentially in a couple of years from now, maybe be a team that is sort of like reliably in in the playoffs and has a sustainable roster. It's just it's just, you know, it's kind of far from here and sort of hard to see right now.

Yeah, the Grant loss was huge, and it overlapped with other injuries, which hasn't helped. LaMelo has missed a fair amount of time recently. Brandon Miller's missed some time. Even guys like Cody Martin, who had played in every game up until recently, has missed some time. But the Grant injury was big because they just don't... He has a skill set that is tough to find, right?

I mean, like a legitimate, solid player on both sides of the court can guard different positions. So he gives you some lineup versatility on that side of the court. He gives you some scheme versatility, including fitting into some of the new stuff that Charles Lee was doing on that side of the court, including cross-matching. at the four and five with some matchups this year.

And he's the one guy in the front court that could like had the combination of being able to shoot pass, um, and, and like set good screens. Like they just don't have anyone else like that, you know, in the four and five room.

And so you knew, I don't know, maybe if I knew it was going to be quite this bad, but we did a pod, you know, the day after Grant's injury or the day of Grant's injury and just said like, they're, they're in serious trouble. Um, And at that time, Mark Williams and Nick Richards were not even back in the lineup.

So it looked especially dark then, just given what Grant also contributes as a small ball center. I mean, the Hornets have one lineup this season that's played over 100 possessions together, according to Cleaning Glass. That is the lineup with... LaMelo, Miller, Green, Bridges, and Grant as the small ball five. So he was a serious player for them.

And I do think it's important to note, you saw this maybe a little bit more late last season, But when you think about a front court, maybe I would stop sort of calling Grant like a front court hub, but certainly a guy that you can throw the ball to at the elbow, you can run handoffs, you can run split cuts off of that.

It was really helpful for a guy like Brandon Miller, who's a guy who's a very good off-ball player and sort of like a natural fit next to a four or a five that can pass and set good screens like that. So I think Brandon has missed that as well, even when he's been – healthy and in the lineup.
